Prokaryotic Cells Vs. Eukaryotic Cells
2
Now that we have learned how living things are organized what’s next?
We will learn more about the lowest level of organization: cells What is the first thing that we need to know about cells? All cells fall into one of the two major classifications of either prokaryotic or eukaryotic.
4
What’s the difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
Prokaryotic cells were here first and for billions of years were the only form of life on Earth. All prokaryotic organisms are unicellular Eukaryotic cells appeared on earth long after prokaryotic cells but they are much more advanced. Eukaryotic organisms unlike prokaryotic can be unicellular or multicellular.

Glow in the dark squid… how does it do that?
7
Vibrio fischeri Glow in the dark bacteria Helps it survive in the ocean Lives in fish and other marine life
8
Let’s Take a Look at the Characteristics of Prokaryotes
Prokaryotes are the simplest type of cell. Oldest type of cell appeared about four billion years ago. Prokaryotes are the largest group of organisms Prokaryotes unicellular organisms that are found in all environments.
9
Let’s Take a Look at the Characteristics of Prokaryotes
Prokaryotes do not have a nuclear membrane . Their circular shaped genetic material dispersed throughout cytoplasm. Prokaryotes do not have membrane-bound organelles . Prokaryotes have a simple internal structure. Prokaryotes are smaller in size when compared to Eukaryotes.
10
Shapes of Prokaryotes Cocci = spherical (round)
Bacillus = (rod shaped) Spirilla = helical (spiral)
11
What do prokaryotic cell look like?
12
Now let’s take a look at the characteristics of eukaryotes
Eukaryotic cells appeared approximately one billion years ago Eukaryotes are generally more advanced than prokaryotes Nuclear membrane surrounds linear genetic material (DNA)
13
Is there more? Yes!!! Unlike prokaryotes, eukaryotes have several different parts. Prokaryote’s organelles have coverings known as membranes. Eukaryotes have a complex internal structure. Eukaryotes are larger than prokaryotes in size .
14
What do eukaryotic cells look like?
Mitochondria Nucleus Cytoplasm Golgi Complex Endoplasmic Reticulum Cell Membrane
15
How do the differences line up?
Prokaryotes Organelles lack a membrane Ribosomes are the only organelles Genetic material floats in the cytoplasm (DNA and RNA) Eukaryotes Organelles covered by a membrane Multiple organelles including ribosomes Membrane covered Genetic material
16
How do the differences line up?
Prokaryotes Circular DNA Unicellular Cells are smaller in size Has larger number of organisms Eukaryotes Linear DNA May be multicellular or unicellular Cells are larger in size Has smaller number of organisms
17
How do the differences line up?
Prokaryotes Appeared 4 billion years ago Eukaryotes Appeared 1 billion years ago
18
How do the similarities line up?
Lets See!!! Both types of cells have cell membranes (outer covering of the cell) Both types of cells have ribosomes Both types of cells have DNA Both types of cells have a liquid environment known as the cytoplasm

7 Themes of Biology Biology is the study of life. Bio- life , logy- study of. Theme 1 Cellular Structure and Function- all living things are made of cells. Theme 2 Reproduction: When organism make their own kind. Theme 3 Metabolism: Organisms obtain and use energy. Theme 4 Homeostasis: Maintain Stable internal environment.
21
7 Themes Of Biology Theme 5 Heredity: Passing of Traits from parent to offspring. Theme 6 Evolution: Changes in the inherited characteristics of species over generations. Theme 7 Interdependence: How organisms interact with other organisms and their environment.
22
Anton Van Leeuwenhoek Was the first to see living organisms and called them animalcules. Used the first simple light microscope.
23
Robert Hooke Used a compound microscope and viewed a slice of cork.
He saw little box structures and called them cells. He used this name because it reminded him of little rooms that monks lived in.
24
Matthias Schleiden First to see living plant cells and determined that plants are also made of these tiny structures called cells.
25
Theodor Schwann Viewed animal tissue and concluded that animals are also made of these tiny structures called cells.
26
Rudolf Virchow He was the scientist that said cells can only be produced by other living cells.
27
The Cell Theory All Organisms are composed of one or more cells.
The cell is the basic unit of structure and organization of organisms. All cells come from other living cells.
28
Cells
29
Organelles are membrane-bound cell parts
Mini “organs” that have unique structures and functions Located in cytoplasm
30
Cell Structures Cell membrane
delicate lipid and protein skin around cytoplasm found in all cells
31
Nucleus a membrane-bound sac evolved to store the cell’s chromosomes(DNA) has pores: holes
32
Nucleolus inside nucleus location of ribosome factory made or RNA
33
mitochondrion makes the cell’s energy
the more energy the cell needs, the more mitochondria it has
34
Ribosomes build proteins from amino acids in cytoplasm
may be free-floating, or may be attached to ER made of RNA
35
Endoplasmic reticulum
may be smooth: builds lipids and carbohydrates may be rough: stores proteins made by attached ribosomes
36
Golgi Complex takes in sacs of raw material from ER
sends out sacs containing finished cell products
37
Lysosomes sacs filled with digestive enzymes
digest worn out cell parts digest food absorbed by cell
38
Centrioles pair of bundled tubes organize cell division
39
Cytoskeleton made of microtubules found throughout cytoplasm
gives shape to cell & moves organelles around inside.
40
Structures found in plant cells
Cell wall very strong made of cellulose protects cell from rupturing glued to other cells next door
41
Vacuole huge water-filled sac keeps cell pressurized stores starch
42
Chloroplasts filled with chlorophyll
turn solar energy into food energy
43
How are plant and animal cells different?
44
Structure Animal cells Plant cells cell membrane Yes yes nucleus nucleolus ribosomes ER Golgi centrioles no cell wall mitochondria cholorplasts One big vacuole cytoskeleton
45
Eukaryote cells can be multicellular
The whole cell can be specialized for one job cells can work together as tissues Tissues can work together as organs
46
Advantages of each kind of cell architecture
Prokaryotes Eukaryotes simple and easy to grow can specialize fast reproduction multicellularity all the same can build large bodies
47
What do all these have in common?
48
Specialized Cells Learning Objectives: Learning Activities:
All must be able to describe with examples, how cells are specialised to perform different functions. Most should be able to state how cells group together to form tissues. Some could state how specific cells are adapted to their function. What is the picture? Discuss what is a specialised cell Powerpoint showing different specialised cells Worksheet Quiz on plant and animal cells
49
What is a specialized Cell?
Plants and animals consist of many cells and so are known as multicellular They contain many different types of cells. Each type of cell is designed to carry out a particular job or function. This is known as cell specialism Not all cells look the same. Some cells have a special shape and features to help them do a certain job.
50
Sperm cell Head contains enzymes & nucleus Designed to Fertilise eggs. Found in the Testes Tail A sperm is small and has a long tail that provides movement so it can swim and find an egg cell. The head contains enzymes which allow it to digest into an egg cell and join with it.
51
Egg (Ovum) Cell Designed to be Fertilised. Found in the Ovaries.
An egg cell is large and bulky. Contains yolk which provides a large food store for the new cell being formed. Cytoplasm containing yolk Layer of jelly Nucleus
52
Palisade Cell Designed for Photosynthesis Found in the top of a leaf
Tall and has a large surface area to absorb water and minerals. Packed with chloroplasts to help make plant food. Nucleus Chloroplasts
53
Ciliated Cell Designed to stop Lung Damage
They line all the air passages (trachea, bronchi & bronchioles) in the lungs. They have tiny hairs called cilia. Hairs sweep mucus with trapped dust and bacteria back up the throat. Nucleus cilia
54
Root Hair Cell Thin cell wall makes it easy for minerals to pass through. Designed for absorbing. Vacuole thin cell wall Has a large surface which helps it to absorb water and minerals. Cell membrane Found in a plant root.
55
Nerve Cell (neurone) They are long They have connections at each end
Nucleus They are long They have connections at each end Can carry electrical signals Their job is to carry nerve impulses to different parts of the body.
56
Red Blood Cell Designed to carry oxygen Found in blood.
Large surface area, for oxygen to pass through. Contains haemoglobin, which joins with oxygen. Has no nucleus
57
How do animal cells move?
Some can crawl with pseudopods Some can swim with a flagellum Some can swim very fast with cilia
58
Pseudopods means “fake feet” extensions of cell membrane
example: ameoba
59
Flagellum/flagella large whiplike tail
pushes or pulls cell through water can be single, or a pair
60
Cilia fine, hairlike extensions attached to cell membrane
beat in unison
